Chapter 694: A Branch of the Great Gan, Possessing Strange Qi
Chapter 694: A Branch of the Great Gan, Possessing Strange Qi
"Master, I extracted an interfering substance from the Primordial Dragon. It seems to be something present in the bloodline of the Great Gan Imperial Family." The Evangelical Spirit, having teleported, handed a strand of something that resembled a gaseous substance to Qin Muye.
The gaseous substance appeared black, looking like vaporized sludge. It landed in Qin Muye's hand, causing him some confusion.
"Why didn't we notice this before? I remember we had a lot of royal relatives thrown in?" Qin Muye analyzed the gaseous sludge. At first glance, it seemed somewhat similar to the national fortune, but only similar.
"I inquired, and it turns out the concentration was low before. Additionally, it seemed to have a certain resonance with the Primordial Dragon, which is why it wasn't detected at first. It only became apparent when we threw more royal relatives in again," the Evangelical Spirit explained.
"This thing seems like a personal version of the national fortune, but wait, not all royal relatives have it. Huangfu Xing doesn't have it?"
Qin Muye immediately noticed this.
"Go, bring a royal relative over," Qin Muye said.
Firstly, the Great Gan Imperial Family has many relatives, some of whom, like Liu Bei, are distant and even somewhat uncertain branches. However, they still carry the blood of the Huangfu family, though they no longer enjoy the corresponding benefits. They can only use the name of royal relatives, but that's all.
Well, there is one benefit: they have a legitimate standing.
The royal relatives causing trouble in the capital are only a part of the total. After all, one hole, one peg. The alien clans arranged for these branches to cause chaos but did not completely wipe out the other Great Gan royal bloodlines. If they had, it would have caused them headaches.
If the emperor were to accidentally fall into the water, it would be good to have a substitute.
Moreover, these individuals can be used for various schemes; being alive is more useful than being dead.
The person was quickly brought over, unconscious.
"The branches have it, but the main line does not." Qin Muye knew this was not something naturally present in flesh or soul.
If it were truly based on parental bloodlines, Huangfu Xing should also have had something similar.
But he didn't. More precisely, before becoming the crown prince, Huangfu Xing had it, but after he was enveloped by the national fortune, it was removed.
"Alright, send this person back. Since we've confirmed it, this must be some kind of intersection point based on name." Qin Muye's eyes narrowed.
This special gaseous substance is ethereal. If not for the Primordial Dragon project, the spirits might not have detected it. As for Qin Muye, he was shielded by the national fortune and didn't see it, even when many royal relatives were kneeling before him.
"From the looks of it, this isn't a positive thing. Interesting." Qin Muye was also curious and decided to investigate further.
"It's somewhat similar to the spirit calamity sludge, but different. Its nature is similar to that of the Gendaya Mother Goddess, but its form is like the cosmic will, rooted in the bodies of the royal branches."
Qin Muye was certain of one thing: this thing probably had little to do with the Huangfu family. It appeared in the royal branches, meaning it would appear regardless of who ruled the land.
That's why he said it was similar to the Gendaya Mother Goddess, though the choice of subjects was limited.
"Hmm, Dad, did you catch that strange thing?" Ji Shan suddenly returned and said, "You're pretty fast, but how did you manage to avoid the national fortune? This thing clings to you tightly, and you still managed to find it."
"Are you talking about the strange thing I sensed while digging the subspace? But this is—" Qin Muye briefly explained the source to Ji Shan.
Ji Shan fell silent for a moment and then continued, "Could it be a 9th Rank entity?"
"It's not. Why 9th Rank? It could be some kind of phenomenon or mechanism." Qin Muye felt this kid wasn't wishing him well.
"Dad, when you say that, don't you feel like you're lying with your eyes open?" Ji Shan countered.
Qin Muye fell silent as well. It was indeed a possibility. If the dark line on the alien side could be the Snake Father, then the dark line on the human side was likely related to this gaseous substance.
"Cough, recently, change the direction of your subspace digging. You probably won't dig out the Snake Father, but you might dig out the owner of this thing. My current state isn't suitable for action."
Qin Muye decisively instructed Ji Shan to change direction.
"Relax, I—"
"No, no, no, I'm not at all relaxed. How about this: we can wait to dig the subspace later. If we really dig something out, I’m afraid the world will explode. One Snake Father is already enough to give me a headache. I don’t need you to dig out another Human Emperor," Qin Muye was still wary of the potential consequences.
"Is it possible that, with you here, even if I don’t dig, the world will still end?" Ji Shan was very optimistic about Qin Muye's presence.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. With you, the Chosen One, and the world aiding me, and with the Endless Abyss, I should have some connection to this world. How could my arrival trigger the end of the world? Besides, I’m here to repay a debt, not to cause chaos. Right?"
As he continued to speak, Qin Muye's confidence waned. This situation was truly unpredictable among the various server and instance worlds he had experienced. Only in the initial world of the Asura Dragon King's national arts did he encounter no problems, as he couldn't locate the coordinates.
"Fine, if you say so, I won’t dig the subspace. I’ll dig somewhere else." Ji Shan sighed, still wanting to have some fun, knowing that his father would handle any major issues.
"..." Qin Muye was speechless. Then he suddenly realized something: "How do you dig the subspace without hands or feet?"
"You mean that? I have a hard shell, so I just smash it." Ji Shan was quite proud of this.
"Aren’t you afraid of shaking the yolk loose?" Qin Muye suddenly said.
"Yolk? There’s no yolk inside, it’s my primordial spirit."
"Oh, so wouldn’t you get dizzy if you keep smashing?"
"No, just a bit of shaking in the primordial spirit."
"So, you still get dizzy. I must say, you’re really amazing. I thought you used your primordial spirit to control tools, but you just smash it." Qin Muye was genuinely impressed by this unique approach.
"So, are you going to lend me the Dead Silence Hand to dig the subspace?" Ji Shan asked.
Given the stability of a 9th Rank world, ordinary tools and equipment wouldn’t suffice. Only the attack-grade Titan-level Dead Silence Hand could do the job. The Golem and Gargoyle levels were inadequate, as they could only handle enemies, not a world.
"Nice try, keep smashing. You’re free all day anyway."
Using the Dead Silence Hand to dig the subspace would damage the world’s foundation, creating a permanent, irreparable hole.
Ji Shan knew this, so he was just teasing Qin Muye. Borrowing the Dead Silence Hand would be like using a cannon to swat a fly, which would not only be excessive but also completely frivolous.
"Alright, keep taking care of Huangfu Xing. I’ll go dig the subspace in a different place." Ji Shan slyly said and ran off.
"!!!" Qin Muye realized the kid was off to play again and called out, "Come back here! I’ll rest for a couple of days, you take over!!!"
Unfortunately, Ji Shan had already made his escape.
"Damn it, this son is a real brat!" Qin Muye cursed, demoting Ji Shan by a generation in his mind.
"But this kid must have found something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t risk digging the subspace despite knowing the issues." Qin Muye knew that Ji Shan wasn’t one to seek pleasure recklessly. Initially, digging the subspace was just for fun, but after discovering the strange substance, Ji Shan was likely investigating it.
Especially after finding this substance in the branches of the Great Gan Imperial Family, Qin Muye was even more concerned.
"Alright, I’ll wait for news. I should focus on how to make the Endless Abyss a part of me." Qin Muye didn’t dwell too much on it. Finding something would be a pleasant surprise, and not finding it wouldn’t be a big deal. As for danger, it was highly unlikely. Ji Shan might not be able to beat Qin Muye, but with his 9th Rank shell, he could endure until Qin Muye came to his rescue.
